Alright here is the deal, ever since i converted to carbs i have had my spark plug wires set up like this ( picture ) but it runs crappy and I set the timing but still runs like crap. Now my question is after I was browsing pictures on here I see that it looks like my plug wires are set up wrong. But when i switch them to like this ( 2nd picture ) it just turns over and then ... pops like a timing issue. WTF!

PS: Friend at work mentioned this to his truck-fanatic friend (mainly trucks, and mainly FOrd); his response back was, "Oh, your co-worker has a 914?". I'm impressed that a truck guy knew this and seems to be rather unique to 914s though must think that any with that vintage Bosch dizzy (mine is 009) would have this situation. The only other one that I spoke with who knew of it had a same vintage Saab that he used to work on. Go figure....
